Workshop ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kesempatan untuk berbagi pengetahuan antara pelaksana proyek REDD + di Indonesia, untuk implementasi REDD + yang lebih baik di Lombok.

The workshop opening was made by Vice Governor of West Nusa Tenggara, and attended by cooperation partners, Ministry of Foresty, Local Government, Universities and NGO. Workshop was started by speech by Lombok Regent, Mr. Suhaili, KOICA representatives in Indonesia, Mr. Choi Sungho and Director General of FORDA, Dr. Tachrir Fathoni,.

During the presentation session, sharing experiences were made by representatives of demonstration activities in Indonesia, including REDD in District level in Berau by TNC, REDD+ in conservation area of Meru Betiri National Park by ITTO and Sustainable Comunity Based Forest Management (SCBFM) in Bangkalan, Madura, by Ideas Consultant.

Selama sesi presentasi, berbagi pengalaman oleh perwakilan dari kegiatan demonstrasi di Indonesia, termasuk REDD tingkat Kabupaten di Berau TNC, REDD+ di kawasan konservasi Taman Nasional Meru Betiri oleh ITTO dan Pengelolaan Hutan Lestari Berbasis Masyarakat (SCBFM) di Bangkalan, Madura, oleh Konsultan Ideas.

Presentations were also made by Korea Forestry Reserach Institute, related to land use change trends and causes of deforestation in Lombok, by Central Lombok Forestry Office regarding current situation on forestry management in Central Lombok, and presentation on future directions and challenges for REDD+ pilot projects by IPB.

Presentasi juga dilakukan oleh Korea Forestry Reserach Institute, mengenai kecenderungan perubahan penggunaan lahan dan penyebab deforestasi di Lombok, Dinas Kehutanan Lombok Tengah tentang kondisi terkini pengelolaan hutan di Lombok Tengah, dan presentasi mengenai masa depan dan tantangan proyek percontohan REDD+ oleh IPB.

DA REDD in Merubetiri has shown that conservation area is still in healthy condition and rich in biodiversity. From historical emission record, there has been low emission due to low rate of deforestation. However, there has been issue regarding community activities in national park that cause unplanned degradation. Attention should be made to include conservation area for carbon incentives through compliance or voluntary mechanism.

DA REDD di Merubetiri menunjukkan bahwa kawasan konservasi masih dalam kondisi baik dan kaya akan keanekaragaman hayati. Dari catatan sejarah emisi, emisi yang telah terjadi relatif rendah karena rendahnya tingkat deforestasi. Namun, terjadi permasalahan terkait kegiatan masyarakat di taman nasional yang menyebabkan degradasi yang tidak terencana. Perhatian harus diberikan untuk memasukkan kawasan konservasi guna mendapatkan insentif karbon melalui mekanisme wajib atau sukarela.

The workshop was continued with site visit to Central Lombok, Batukliang Subdistrict, as REDD location on 22 June 2011, to discuss next steps, and effective ways for implementation of REDD+.

Kegiatan dilanjutkan dengan kunjungan lapangan ke Lombok Tengah. Kecamatan Batukliang sebagai lokasi REDD pada tanggal 22 juni 2011, untuk mendiskusikan langkah yang akan dilakukan dan cara yang efektif untuk menerapkan REDD+.
